Three Weeks Old

The last three and half weeks have flown by. Brooklyn has her days and nights confused but it hasn't been to bad. For some reason in our bed with me holding her she falls right to sleep but put her in her bed and she automatically wakes up. Hmmm. . .

I will however stand by my belief that you can't spoil a baby under three months. Ask me where I stand on this after a few more nights of little sleep! The good thing is that she is not up all night screaming and is pretty or should I say VERY content with someone holding her. Usually there is someone around that wants that job. At one point in the middle of the night Jeremy gets up and says she might be getting a little spoiled! What's funny about this is that he walks over to her crib, picks her up and sits in the chair with her until she falls asleep.

I do love this newborn time. She is just so tiny and precious it's hard to put her down.

I love this picture because she rarely has her eyes open. She looks much bigger than she is in the pic and Mom doesn't think it really looks like her but it's still pretty cute. I also just love it when babies yawn I was so glad to catch this.

We were getting in the car the other night after going out to eat and put Weston in first then Brooklyn. Weston looks over at her and said "i don't like her and want her to go back to the hospital." I told him since we kept him we would probably keep her too. The one thing about Weston is that he loves to get a reaction out of people and see what you are going to do about it. We choose to ignore a lot of this. We start driving down the street and he says "Mommy I like her" I asked him if he still wanted her to go back and he said no. I am glad he decided to like her again.

Brooklyn (Bookwyn as Weston says) Rebekah

She's here!! Brooklyn arrived June 27, 2007 at 2:16 pm. We were all a little off on our weight guesstimates. She was 6 pounds 14 ounces and came out with a full head of hair! We were told at our 3D sonogram and at the 36 week sonogram that she would completely bald. To quote the sonographer "she doesn't even have peach fuzz" They were wrong!
When we left the hospital Brooklyn dropped down to 6 pounds 3 ounces but by her two week appointment was 7.1! She definitely has eating figured out.
The last few weeks have been a little crazy and we are figuring out our new normal. Thankfully we have had lots of help and company.
Weston has done fantastic and we are thrilled at how much he loves his sister. When she was about a week old we were getting ready for bed and Weston said "Mommy thank you for my baby sister" It did take him a few weeks to realize that I was his Mommy and her Mommy. I put Brooklyn in her bed and said "Mommy will be right back" Weston looked at me and said
"You're not her Mommy" I think he's figured out now that I can be his Mommy and Brooklyn's Mommy. It's hard to believe that we have only had Brooklyn for three weeks it seems like she's always been here.
